Physics is fundamental to understanding the world around us, within us, and beyond us. As the most basic and foundational science, physics stretches our imaginations with concepts like relativity and string theory, leading to groundbreaking discoveries such as computers and lasers that transform our lives. It encompasses the study of the universe from the largest galaxies to the smallest subatomic particles and forms the basis of many other sciences, including chemistry, oceanography, seismology, and astronomy. With a bachelor’s degree in physics, these fields are easily accessible.

The significance of physics extends beyond the "hard sciences." Physicists increasingly apply their expertise to molecular biology, biochemistry, and medicine, where their unique skills are highly sought after. Medical physicists, in particular, are in high demand due to their specialised knowledge.

Physics also underpins many modern technologies. Innovations like cell phones, the Internet, and MRI machines are rooted in physics-based developments that have revolutionised our world.

A physics education equips individuals to work in diverse and exciting environments, from industrial and government labs to college campuses and even the astronaut corps. Many theoretical and experimental physicists transition into engineering roles, and numerous engineers hold physics degrees.

Additionally, physics graduates often pursue careers outside the laboratory, working in journalism, governmental departments, and various other fields where their problem-solving abilities and analytical skills are invaluable assets. Physics is not only fascinating and relevant but also prepares you for rewarding careers in a wide range of industries.
